To The Aotg.com Community,

It is with a heavy heart that we announce we will no longer be updating Aotg.com. Back in 2007, when we started, there was a lack of access to information about film, television, and commercial editing. We wanted to fix that by creating a central location for content about editing to be stored.

Since then, we've watched the amount of content about editing on the internet grow exponentially. We've also watched social media tools come and go with that growth. Does anyone remember Google Wave!? These social media tools changed how people access and search for media and information. People tend to turn to Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, and Instagram for their news and information, and those are all great tools to promote your sites, but as a site that aggregates links to other sites for users, it just doesn't work for us.

We will keep the site live but archive the ability to add links and comments. We will keep our database live with the links for those who desire to use it to search for editing information and research.

Our podcast, The Cutting Room, will move over to the Filmmakeru.com website and will continue to be a place for interviews with editors and other film professionals.

Everyone who worked for Aotg.com loved what we created and are proud that we could help so many editors find content that spoke to them.

I look forward to seeing everyone at the various post events worldwide in the coming years!

Yours truly,
Gordon Burkell
Aotg.com Founder

In the next part at our introductory look at Apple's Motion 5, we take a look at a great not so hidden feature in Motion 5, and that's the Heads Up Display (HUD). We'll also talk about how Generators are going to help us create our Lower Third; then look at all the Masking options, and how we can mask our Generator to create our Lower Third. Again, Motion 4 users will get a great deal out of this training series as well.

As far back as the introduction of Adobe CS3, motion graphics artists have been experimenting with 3D extrusions in After Affects. But if you wanted to create extruded text, you had to rely on a complicated workflow within AE itself or on a set of external plug-ins to do it.

Final Cut Pro version 10.0.1 includes an updated version of the Ticker title effect. I've come up with some additional improvements. The most useful one is that I've linked the size of the background of the ticker to the font size of the text (note that the font size control in the Text tab of the inspector is disabled – use the text size control in the Title tab instead).
